		<p>A judge's role is to award points according to how much they like the facial hair (highest points to the most preferred), which will then be added to other judge's scores to decide 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places. There are no standard criteria for making the judgement - it is totally subjective to the desires of each judge.</p>

		 <h3>Judging and Awarding Points</h3>

		 <ol class="numberless">
			 <li>First, the contestants in each class will be presented and in a group on the stage holding numbered placards representing their entry number.</li>
			 <li>They will then parade individually, as creatively as they like, in front of the audience and the panel of judges.</li>
			 <li>Each judge will then give a ranking score between <strong>5</strong> and <strong>10</strong> points to each contestant, the highest points awarded to the most preferred entry. (Half points are also possible!)</li>
			 <li>The point values <strong>10</strong>, <strong>9.5</strong>, and <strong>9</strong> can only be given once by each judge in each class. Each judge may award any of the other point values as often as they like.</li>
			 <li>When the judges have settled on a score, together, they will hold up the appropriate numbered placard for each place.</li>
			 <li>The positions <strong>1st</strong>, <strong>2nd</strong>, and <strong>3rd</strong> must be decided clearly. In the event of equal scores, a second vote will be conducted (this applies only to <strong>1st</strong>, <strong>2nd</strong>, and <strong>3rd</strong> place). In the event of two entrants gaining the same score, the judges will be asked to award <strong>5</strong> or <strong>3</strong> points to each contestant. The judges will NOT know whether this is for <strong>1st</strong> and <strong>2nd</strong> place, or <strong>2nd</strong> and <strong>3rd</strong> places. In the event of three entrants gaining the same score, the judges will be asked to award <strong>5</strong>, <strong>3</strong>, or <strong>1</strong> points to each contestant. Highest points, again, awarded to the most preferred.</li>
			 <li class="bottom"></li>
		</ol>
				 
		<p><em>** Any class that has twenty or more contestants will be divided, by random draw, into smaller groups. Each group will be scored using the point system above. Once all the divided groups have been scored, the top three of each group will then be judged and scored again to award a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.</em></p>
		
		<p>One of the rules of the competition is <strong>"Protest of any decision by the judges will incur disqualification from this competition!"</strong>
